The Vulnerability of Canada to Volcanic Hazards
Stasiuk, Mark; Hickson, Catherine; Mulder, Taimi - In: Natural Hazards 28 (2003) 2, pp. 563-589
Western Canada lies in a zone of active tectonics and volcanism, but thedispersed population has witnessed few eruptions due to the remoteness of the volcanoes and their low level ofactivity. This has created a false perception that Canada's volcanoes are extinct. There are more than 200...
